Thank you for a PHENOMenal Public Higher Education Advocacy Day!

We cannot thank everyone enough for making Public Higher Education Advocacy Day 2016 truly PHENOMenal. Hundreds of students, staff, faculty, administrators, and legislators packed the Great Hall of Flags. We even ran out of seats!

We kicked off the day with a stellar speaking program, featuring Higher Education Commissioner Carlos Santiago, Massachusetts Teachers Association President Barbara Madeloni, Springfield Technical Community College Student Juhi Dasrath, MASSART Student Stephanie Houten, and UMass Dartmouth Student Marven-rhode Hyppolite. Everyone rallied behind the message of the day: public higher education in Massachusetts should be fully funded, affordable, accessible, and well-staffed.
